Oddjob:
Is it a key like slot or is the hole more like a hexagonal ?
juitz:
This is what I have.

That was a special thing that came in from the US i think, you are probably better off getting the Honda locking assembly which was a mod, again caused by the Yanks breaking the original ones or you can fit the original thumb push type
Oddjob:
I had one of those, hence why I thought it might be the hexagonal one. I do have a tank lock NOS lying around, can't remember if I have that type or the key slot type or both types. I'll have a look.
juitz:
Thanks all, I'll take a look at replacements for the lock mechanism.
So for the next item, can anyone recommend a wheel building service/company? Have my front and rear hubs fully stripped now so looking to get new rims/spokes.I'll be replacing the rims with new units.
Also, having a bit of a read on wheel sizes and there's plenty out there but any recommendations? I'm inclined to keep stock sizes? My understanding is that they are:
Front tyre 3.25 x 19
Rear tyre 3.75 x 18
Rims 1.85 front and rear for US models?
Any reason to deviate from this?
